Freddie Mercury

With a lot of story to tell in only 2 hours and 15 minutes, we only get a glimpse of some of Queen's creative process. But it was enough to get me downloading their music last night.

It was beginning to seem as though a Queen biopic would never come to pass. Sacha Baron Cohen (who, let’s be honest, would be perfect) was attached to the project at one time, but creative differences with the surviving band members ultimately forced him to drop out. But after years of will they or won’t they development hell, Bohemian Rhapsody is finally in production with Mr. Robot star Rami Malek portraying rock icon Freddie Mercury — and there’s actual photographic evidence to prove it.

Stop what you're doing right now. Stop what you're doing, go online, and find the quickest way to get yourself to Houston, TX tomorrow. That's the last date on the U.S. leg of 2017's Queen + Adam Lambert tour. But after their rousing success and glowing reviews, hopefully they'll load up the trailers again (at least 5 full sized ones that I could see) and get back on American soil sometime soon. R

As the world mourns the loss of David Bowie today, one of the most influential and iconic musicians of our time, tributes are pouring in from across the world. Any time we lose a talented musician though, it's interesting to think about the old "rock band in Heaven", and how Bowie may now be reunited with one of the greatest rock singers ever - Queen's Freddie Mercury.
